plLLow-SHAM HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 334,278, dated January 12, 1886.

Application filed November 9, 1885. Serial No. 162,187. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GHAELEs F. PERcIvAL, of Barton, in the county of Orleans and State of Vermont, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Iillow Sham Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a pillow-sham holder by means of which the pillow-shams may be held in position during the day, and at night be easily and quickly removed to the rear side of the head-board of the bed, and as readily replaced when the bed is made up.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure l is a view in perspective of a bedstead provided with my appliance, with the pillowshams in position thereupon. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of sufficient of the bedstead to exhibit my device, the pillow-shams hanging at the rear of the headboard.

A represents the headboard, and B the posts of the same. Rigidly secured to each post is a bracket, C, supporting a pulley, D, one of which is provided with a suitable handle, d.

E is an endless cord or belt, which passes around the two pulleys and in front of and behind the head-board A.

The pillow-shams H are secured to the cord E, and in the daytime are exhibited in the position shown in Fig. 1. To remove them at without danger of rumpling or otherone of the pulleys is night wise injuring them,

turned by means of its handle until the cord 35 E carries the pillow-shams to the rear of the head-board, where they hang vertically, as shown in Fig. 2.

A box or casing, I, or any other suitable covering or protecting device, may be applied 4o to the rear side of the head-board, so as to prevent dust from accumulating upon or soiling the shams. This box or covering (which may be omitted, if desired) need occupybut little room, as it is only necessary that it 45 should be sufliciently deep to clear the shams until the bed is again made up.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The hereinbefore-described improved pillow-sham holder, consisting, essentially, of the brackets C, secured to the posts or sides of the head-board, the pulleys D, supported by said brackets, and the endless cord or belt E, run- 55 ning on said pulleys, and passing around the head-board and supporting the pillow-shams, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of the head-board pro vided with the casing I, the pulleys D, sup- 6o ported by the brackets C, and the endless cord E, supporting the pillowshams H, substan tially as and for the purpose described.
